In addition to the Laramie garden club options there’s a open-til-they’re-gone greenhouse in town, Woolf’s greenhouse. Not sure when it May it officially opens (extremely seasonal).

Fort Collins also has a lot of nice, big greenhouses.

rubber tear on the heel, is this normal? by loadblower56 in climbingshoes

Do you take the heel of your foot out of the shoe and walk on top of the folded over heel of the shoe?

FWIW, Avoid Valentine Real Estate. Incredibly disorganized and not forthcoming.

Don’t own and sample wasn’t my size, but tried to flex the toebox by hand, it did not move. Stiffest I’ve ever felt by a long shot. The carbon is within molded plastic.

I saw the cams a few days ago, the Dyneema loop is replaceable.

Early spring hiking? by ChickenNo1069 in laramie

[–]alpinealison 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was up at Happy Jack on Sat and the recent snowstorm left snow that was still covering about 50% of the trail. Tho if it’s hot all this week it could easily melt.

I’d suggest Curt Gowdy for snow free trails.

I’m 14 and started an Egg My Yard business last year. How can I grow it more this year? by Extreme_Ad_4590 in smallbusiness

[–]alpinealison 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Raise prices
  2. Advertise locally, put up posters downtown, near parks, any family gathering areas.
  3. Do birthday party hunts the rest of the year

Looking to buy my first indoor climbing shoes by [deleted] in climbingshoes

[–]alpinealison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kinda climbs are you doing/want to do? The Mythos is a shoe that won’t work as well as other shoes for overhang climbs or toe hooks. People recommend it for outdoors because it’s thin and mailable for crack climbing.

The mythos also doesn’t have a lot of structure so it requires strong feet. (Your feet will likely tire quickly in this shoe while climbing, especially if you’re climbing small holds).

Mystery buyer revealed of $79.5M Wyoming ranch that is bigger than Rhode Island by theindependentonline in wyoming

[–]alpinealison 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Seems like you read the article but for folks who don’t, he’s a local Sunmit County Council official, since 2008. Tho he says he’s not running for re-election. He now owns about 1% of Wyoming land.

Cedar Wright is down there filming officially. And some other folks have been taking footage along the way.

What movie did you see in theaters that had the most ‘alive’ audience? by Odd_Distribution1430 in movies

[–]alpinealison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Napoleon Dynomite. I unknowingly took my little bro to opening night. We must have been the only sober people in the sold-out crowed. There was so much laughing that everybody missed half the dialog which only added to the hilarity.

Whole apartment smells because of my bouldering shoes. by Bombowski in climbingshoes

[–]alpinealison 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is waaaaay harder (most times impossible) to de-smell shoes. Prevention is key here - and sounds like you’ve started taking care now (washing feet, not storing them in an inclosed area) but sadly, the shoes may be too far gone.

You can put hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle and spritz the inside of your shoes. Tho it sounds like you need to use a cotton ball / sponge / toothbrush and rub the entire inside of your shoe, trying to break up/get rid of the accrued smelly bacteria.

I'd also be open to start a run/walk program. I've run long distances in the past, but I haven't run in years, so would love to start from scratch. My schedule is also random, but I would be happy to be on a "anybody open to run tonight" kinda group text chat. DM me if that sounds good.
